An Aircraft Collision Model

In the 1960's a controversy arose regarding the safety of navigation standards of jet aircraft over the North Atlantic Ocean, which led to a confrontation between airline owners and pilots. A systems analysis led to a redesigned and improved system which resolved the controversy by giving each side at least as much as it originally requested, in terms of minimizing cost on the one hand and maximizing safety on the other. This paper describes the problem, the controversy, the model, the data collection and reduction, the solution, and the implementation.
